Hello,
History. 1974 7.5 hp Mercury. Replaced seal that leaked and all went well, reverse and forward shifting was good before using. Got on the water and put in gear but would not reverse or forward. I did not do any thing to the shifting mechanism and upon checking spin on the prop by hand I hear some grinding. I assume I messed up when putting it all together. Before tearing down can you folks suggest what may have gone wrong?
